Thanks for all the replies,

I, after g= oing through couple of webpages, figured out this by trail using, M-x descr= ibe-face=A0
Family: DejaVu Sans Mono
=A0=A0 =A0 = =A0 Foundry: unknown
=A0=A0 =A0 =A0 =A0 Width: normal
=A0=A0 =A0 =A0 =A0Height: 1= 21
=A0=A0 =A0 =A0 =A0Weight: normal
=A0=A0 =A0 =A0 =A0 = Slant: normal
=A0=A0 =A0Foreground: black
=A0=A0 =A0Bac= kground: white
=A0=A0 =A0 Underline: nil
=A0=A0 =A0 =A0Overline: nil
Strike-through: nil
Box: nil
=A0=A0 =A0 =A0 Inverse: nil
=A0=A0 =A0 =A0 = Stipple: nil
=A0=A0 =A0 =A0 =A0 =A0Font: #<font-object -unknow= n-DejaVu Sans Mono-normal-normal-normal-*-16-*-*-*-m-0-iso10646-1>
=A0=A0 =A0 =A0 Fontset: -unknown-DejaVu Sans Mono-normal-normal-normal= -*-16-*-*-*-m-0-fontset-startup
=A0=A0 =A0 =A0 Inherit: unspecifi= ed (I think by default this is nil)

I don't know about what the default font is on different sy= stems, but
this is the line I'm using to configure the default face (I'm also = on
Ubuntu).

=A0(set-face-attribute 'default nil :height 110 :family "DejaVu S= ans Mono")
